Following a preview of Windows 8, Microsoft has officially given all the attendees of its Build conference a free Samsung Tablet running the upcoming OS, reports TIMN.
The Samsung Windows 8 Developer Preview PC is essentially a Series 7 tablet with some added sensors, and it's running a dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Core i5-2467M - it seems Microsoft isn't quite ready to hand out ARM-based tablets just yet. As with the Series 7, the tablet features an 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 Super PLS display, USB and HDMI ports, a microSD slot, and support for pen input - the external dock / charging station offers USB, HDMI, and Ethernet connectivity as well. There's also an AT&T 3G modem, and Microsoft is including a year of 2GB / month service, which is pretty nice. Those added sensors are the usual fare: a gyroscope, compass, GPS, and NFC for that new tap-to-share feature.
